Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 158
Fortunately, although there are some places where the big stick is wrong, but fortunately, the amount of corruption, the bad things done, and so on, did not put on a crown, and it was not until the big stick was sent to the execution ground that Master Wang felt relieved and reached out to touch it. Touching his forehead, he wiped away the cold sweat on his brow worriedly.

Jinyi guards disguised as yamen servants put fifteen prisoners into the prison car. At this time, the careful onlookers saw that the soldiers on both sides of the road, at some point, tied red cloth strips about two fingers wide. above the left arm.

Fifteen prison cars drove through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived outside the west gate of Chang'an City, where fifteen tree stumps had already been prepared.

These tree stumps lined up, some looked very old, with some dark stains on the surface, and some were very new, and the stubble on the surface had not been polished.

This is the guillotine stake. During the execution, the executioner put the head of the prisoner on this wooden stake, exposing the neck, and cut it in half. Originally, there were only five guillotine stakes for execution in Chang’an Mansion. Made ten, so some are new and some are old.

The government officials led the prisoners out of the prison cars and lined them up one by one. The prisoners behaved differently at this time. Some were silent, some were noisy, some were frightened, and some looked calm and scary.

Looking at all kinds of prisoners, Da Bangchui sat on the execution platform, his eyes looking in the direction of the city gate from time to time. After a while, the imperial edict ordered by the emperor would be sent from there. Only after receiving the edict can the execution be ordered. cut.

At this time, Li Chengdao was in the palace, dressed in plain onyx, with white candles flickering on the table. Li Chengdao held a vermilion pen and ticked off the names one by one. Finally, Li Chengdao threw the imperial decree in his hand on the ground, and the whole person stopped talking .

At this time, a dexterous little eunuch jumped up, picked up the imperial edict, knelt on the ground and looked at Li Chengdao. Li Chengdao lit three pillars of fragrance, then closed his eyes and nodded.

The little eunuch trotted all the way out of the palace gate, and handed the imperial edict in his hand to a soldier of the Xiaoqi Battalion who had been waiting for a long time.

The sun is westward, outside the west gate of Chang'an City.

Except for the soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Jin Yiwei who were disguised as government servants, everyone was impatient to wait. They staggered around, talking loudly, and some even speculated that the emperor may have realized that killing too many people was against the law of heaven, so he was changing the imperial decree. Getting ready to unleash a batch of eh!

Just as people were speculating with great interest who could escape death, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

Following the sound from far to near, a soldier of the Xiaoqi Battalion, holding the imperial decree high in his left hand, rushed all the way.

"The imperial decree has arrived! Li Cuilian, Governor of Chang'an Mansion and Chief Execution Officer, accepts the decree!"

Big Stick and Hammer quickly led the crowd to kneel down, and the soldiers on the horse got off their horses cleanly, opened the imperial decree, and read aloud.

There is no long speech in the imperial decree, not even the sentence "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhaori", just fifteen names and three characters one by one!
After the imperial decree, everyone didn't know who started it, and there were bursts of howling ghosts and howling wolves. The common people had expected that 18 years later, Lao Tzu is another classic line of a hero, and it has been a long time since this line. Shout out from five mouths.

A gangster appeared, checked fifteen criminals one by one, and stuffed a copper coin into their mouths.

When all the fifteen criminals had copper coins in their mouths, Wu turned his head and bowed his hands to the adult on the execution stage. His face was heavy with the big stick and hammer. The wooden sign with the word "cut" fell to the ground with a bang, and at the same time, there was the phrase "execution" in the mouth of the big stick and hammer.

As soon as the words fell, a cannon sounded, and after the cannon sound, a human head fell to the ground, and his eyes looked helplessly at the surrounding people.

Two, three... five... ten!
After ten cannons were fired, all the onlookers had already left, and only the supervisor and executioner and fifteen executioners were left in the execution ground.

At this time, the hands of these experienced executioners holding the ghost-headed knife could not help but tremble slightly. The round and rolling things on the ground were not watermelons, but ten human heads. Just a moment ago, these people were venting their sorrow or shouting. The dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, and after he raised the knife and dropped it, ten fresh lives were lost.

At this moment, the No. 11 gun rang, but the executioner's knife did not fall for a long time. The executioner's hand trembled uncontrollably. Finally, he couldn't hold the knife, and it fell to the ground with a clang.

Seeing this, the big club hammer tore off the red official uniform, exposing the chest covered with chest hair, and went straight to the No. Yamen servants exchange knives with the executioner, and fire cannons for execution!"

After finishing speaking, the knife fell from the hammer's hand, and No. 11's head fell in response.

After that, the execution became smooth again. The level of calmness and ruthlessness of these Jinyiwei's disguised government servants was beyond the imagination of these executioners.

After [-] gunshots, [-] heads fell to the ground, and the blood stained the land outside the west gate red. According to the later people, in the ten days after the execution that day, the people in Xicheng seemed to be able to smell the blood from Xicheng. The smell of blood coming from outside the door...

"Your Majesty, all the fifteen prisoners have been beheaded, and their identities have been verified through forensics before and after!"

In the palace, Big Stick and Hammer brought Mr. Wang and Xing Butou, and was cordially received by Li Chengdao.

"Okay, Big Bang Hammer, this case started in your Chang'an Mansion, and now it has also ended in your Chang'an Mansion. It starts well and ends well!"

Hearing the words, Big Banghammer was delighted, and was about to kneel down to thank him, but he heard Li Chengdao's words changed and said: "However, when you handled this case, you broke into the palace without authorization and concealed the slander, Big Banghammer, you can be convicted !"

Hearing the words, the big stick and hammer quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty. On the other side, Master Wang suddenly knelt down and said:
"Report to the Holy Majesty, this matter is the idea of ​​the grassroots. Mr. Li is kind-hearted, and it is also for the sake of the people of the world. If you want to punish, please punish the grassroots!"

"Your Majesty, I have also spoken out about this matter. Otherwise, Mr. Li would not be so reckless. I am also responsible. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Seeing this, Xing Butou hurriedly took responsibility.

Li Chengdao looked at the three kneeling people with a smile, but the big stick raised his head secretly at this moment. Li Chengdao glanced over, and the big stick quickly lowered his head as if he had been shocked by electricity.

"I have made up my mind on this matter. Since Big Banghammer made a mistake, I have to take the responsibility. Big Banghammer, now I will remove you from your position as Governor of Chang'an Prefecture and relegate you to Deputy Captain of Shenji Battalion. Go find General Gan Ning Report it!"

"Deputy Captain of Shenji Camp?! Thank you Lord Long En!" The big stick jumped up happily, rushed out of the hall in a hurry, and took off the official uniform of Chang'an Prefecture Yin on his body while running.

Li Chengdao looked at the two kneeling below, and said: "Master Wang, Xing Butou, the three of you conspired together, and I had no choice but to kill more than ten court officials. Tell me, how should we settle this account?"
